About Me

I am a 30 year old transplanted Californian living in Las Vegas. I've been here for about 15 years, in Vegas that's pretty near being a native. I'm married and I have a great husband who I have two wonderful kids with.
I hate writing in the about me section so here's DesertRat,,'s endorsement:
"nicole is an amazingly unconventional girl...she likes everything from goth to black eyed peas...u cant label her at all..she is a loving mother...devoted wife...and looks freakin beautiful with short black hair!"
"oh yeah...she's beautiful without the short black hair!"
"whatever u do!....do not put little black dots all over her bathroom or her and her mom will give u sh*t for the rest of your life!"
I am 65% Evil Genius.
.. Evil courses through my blood. Lies and deceit motivate my evil deeds. Crushing the weaklings and idiots that do nothing but interfere in my doings. Take the

I am 63% Internet Addict.
.. I am pretty addicted, but there is hope. I think I'm just well connected to the internet and technology, but it's really a start of a drug-like addiction. I must act now! Unplug this computer! Take the
Internet Addict Test
@ FualiDotCom I am 39% Tortured Artist.
.. I have some artistic ability, but it is probably a hobby and doesn't drive my life into a dark abysmal hole were I am alone and against the world. Take the

I am 26% White Trash.
.. The white trash in my blood will not keep me from becoming a doctor or a lawyer, but it will keep me from a good haircut and any sort of fashion sense. Take the
